A suggestion for Dr. Pipes' next article
Reader comment on item: The Snipers: Crazy or Jihadis?
Submitted by Richard Burd (United States), Oct 29, 2002 at 23:18
Daniel, it would be cool if you wrote an article entitled, ""10 questions you can ask your Muslim neighbor to find out if he/she is an Islamist"That would help a lot of people out, because they could better understand islamism if they knew what questions to ask like:
Is the Shi'ara law or Islamic law better than the U.S. legal system based on the constitution?
If you could outlaw alcohol and revealing clothing would you do so?
etc...
